Six Feet Under The Desolate Stars

by Stephanie   Nov 21, 2007


Stop. Rewind. Play.
These words and struggled gasps for air are etched into my mind,
Leaving behind a trail of hopelessness; I'm searching for things I can't find.
I'm walking through the cold ash, with nowhere to plant my feet,
And my self-conscience is glowering at me; My heart dares not to beat.
I'm a piece on a chess board with limited moves that I can make,
And every time I acknowledge your presence, the more you seem to take.

My legs run around the corner, but my memory can't escape your face -
Shining like an angel; How do you manage to hold your hurt with such grace?
My lips quivers with awe, at how capable you are to play this game.
When I went to attempt such a dangerous thing, I failed to run from the blame.
These years blur together right before my eyes and I ponder how you are,
Because after all the time I spent well... I'm now lying six feet under the desolate stars.

``Yes, it's a bit confusing, and I'm sorry, but that's what I'm feeling - Confused. But still comment and rate. :D I will return the favor.

    I really enjoyed this piece of art, The story behind it was portrayed nicely, really deep and capturing. The emotion was effective and I like how this was a poem but yet sort of a prose/story at the same time. You really put alot into this and it was easy to follow. Really a nicely written poem. I enjoyed it and give you a 5/5~Mel
